  I would say the German system works pretty well and is well accepted but the outrage when they ruled that the lid on plastic bottles needs to be attached to the bottle was beyond infantile

  Haha touché. Maybe I should have added that he is a conspiracy theorist (of the Reichsbürger kind)

  I had an argument with my uncle once. In Germany, there is “Pfand” on bottles and soda cans. You pay a little extra when you buy one and when you return it to the “Pfandautomat” you get back the extra amount. He was arguing that this is somehow indoctrination by the state to condition us to follow rules. I have avoided conversations with him since

  PIDs for can be very fun. And essentially its just 5 or so lines of code, which is something I wish they told us in uni (instead, it was mostly theory, as in the meme). I recently built a kiln which goes to 1000-something °C with a PID controller and I just set the parameters by vibes, not even some formal method. And it just works. So here is my resource: The (bit messy) controller code for my oven The code is obviously a bit more than those few lines, but I just wanted to say that the implementation is very simple, which I would have liked to know when I started out with this.

  As I said, I personally wouldn’t do that in my free time, especially not every single day… because I’m too lazy haha

  When you can only commute with a car, yeah it’s dumb. However, I have a daily commute of 1 hour with my bicycle and it’s a great way to get some exercise. In this regard it’s forcing me to move my body, which I otherwise probably wouldn’t in my free time. Gym of life.

  This is why I thought that maybe it would be good to have some kind of pacing cars, e.g. operated by traffic police? I.e. when you already know or can anticipate that there is a large jam building up, you bring in one pacing car on every lane at an appropriate low speed and everyone has to adjust, so the thing you mentioned won’t happen.
